    It's not a bad film. It was better than i expected it to be. It's a no brainer, action & mindless gore, but entertaining all the same.

    Gets a good write up on Amazon too.

    There are bits which are so violent as to be bordering on ludicrous, which make you laugh out loud.

    e.g. he sneaks onto the back of a jeep with a mounted .50 cal MG, turns the MG round, points it at the driver of the jeep 3 feet away and lets rip.

    Lets just say they don't hold back with the 'effects'.:rotfl:

    Sorry for the spoiler, had to tell you about it!

    As my blu-ray is on my laptop, I have only 3 movies, 2 new and 1 old

    The old one is Shawshank Redemption, and I must admit the blu-ray is excellent. I have seen things and noticed things on there I have never seen on the normal DVD movie, and as this is my all time favourite, I have seen it a LOT of times :beer:. Thigs like pin stripes on suits I never saw a hint of before. But I guess there will be mixed results. Might be worth joining an online or local rental shop, rent the blu-ray and see if it's worth buying

    Some blurays are actually very badlu upscaled dvds (meaning theyre worse than buying the dvd)
    But I believe theyve got their act together a bit now so hopefully wont be seeing anymore of them. I have MAD MAX 2 on bluray which looks pretty damn good.
    :idea:

    I got mine on ebay for about 12 quid, pretty sure it must be a bit cheaper now (It was an import)
